but i'll concede that things may change quickly if and only if Iowa and New Hampshire change the current structure in any way. the only way Rubio gets the nomination is if he can convince enough delegates to switch to him at the convention, and i'm not seeing anything that says he can. he is the only credible alternative to Trump, and he's got a lot more ground to cover between now and then. but as i keep saying, the best any of the candidates can hope for is roughly 1/3 of the Electoral College, because none of them can possibly compete in the general election.
